What

One-line README fix: the GitHub-stars badge linked to /stargazers, which GitHub now serves as 404 to logged-out clients (try any repository's /stargazers while signed out — rust-lang/rust included). Point the badge at the repository instead.

Why

The link is dead for anonymous visitors, and the docs link-checker added in #941 correctly rejects it — currently failing the Check Markdown Links job on every PR (e.g. #947).

Checklist

  • Tests pass (cargo test) — docs-only change
  • No new clippy warnings — docs-only change
  • Updated CHANGELOG.md (if user-facing change) — not user-facing
  • New registry? See CONTRIBUTING.md checklist

GitHub now returns 404 for /stargazers to logged-out clients (it does
for every repository), so the badge target was a dead link for anonymous
visitors and the docs link-checker (getnora-io#727) fails on every PR.
